What is NPOV?

Thanks for your note. I'm all for getting paid too, but nobody will placed 
under duress to assist.

I was actually thinking that this area would be put together by the 
industrial design community (and available to all) without regard to 
financial incentive. The Wikipedia format seems to me to be an ideal format 
for this project.

This is a worthwhile project and we need assistance. The question is whether 
Wikipedia, whose systems are in place, is going to fulfill that role.
